Review: This Japanese CD combines two excellent quality, superbly mixed soundboard recordings from the Feb.11, 1974 early and late shows, and includes tracks performed by The Band as well. The performance, while fairly standard for 1974 in terms of the setlist, is excellent in execution. A surprisingly enjoyable set and, as with Paint The Daytime Black, a far better representation of 1974 than the official Before The Flood album.

Geetarz Comments:
The 1985 tour was pivotal, as it marked EC's reemergence as a "Guitar God". This was one of the shows preceding Clapton's career-changing performance at "Live Aid", with one of his best band lineups as well.
Can it get any better? Oh, yeah ... it's a perfect, close miked soundboard!
This is the premier release on the Tarantura label, catalog number TECD-001, 002, "Stereo Soundboard", "Original Master Recording".
There's always been some confusion about the way the label name is spelled, and the back cover of this release is no exception, reading (P) (C) TARANTULRA (with the 'L' Crossed out!), "E.C. Archives Chicago Branch".
By request, this is a new rip from my silvers, August 2009.
This is only the second time these discs have been handled - I made myself CD-R copies for daily listening back in the Dark Ages when I bought this set - back in the days when CD-Rs burned at any speed you wanted, so long as it was 1x!
Even if you already have a copy of this title, this may be a nice upgrade for you, direct from the silvers with known lineage.
Also, the original scans I did "back in the day" weren't very good (because my scanner, wasn't very good) so for this torrent I have included new scans at 300 DPI, including scans of the discs.

LINEAGE: Silvers > LiteOn iHAP322 (UL18 Firmware) > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 4 (Secure Mode, Calibrated Offset +6, 0) > FLAC (Level 6) > You !!!
Of course, EAC logs and checksums (FFP, MD5, and ST5) included.

There's been a lot of discussion lately about what is "essential" Clapton, and I'm really glad this has come up. It's so easy for those of us who are familiar with an artist to lose track of what's essential, and accessible to everyone, not just diehard fans.
This is definitely one of the "essential" recordings, not my favorite of the '85 tour but definitely one of my Top 3 (don't you love it when people say that, when it's merely a polite way of saying it's my Third Favorite).
All joking aside, this is a great one ... and remember, kids ... PLAY IT LOUD!

Amy Grant: Dallas 2008 (Soundboard Web Rip) FLAC

by request! (this is lossy but a very good capture)

Dallas, TX November 2008 – [Web Rip from FOA web site + Remastered FLAC] from the 20th Anniversary Lead Me On tour.

Available to FOA members (Amy’s Fan Club) for free… Signal Path = Web Rip. Ripped feed to WAV, re-mastered (loudness and compression added) and cut into tracks, then converted to FLAC to preserve original compressed format (as not to add more compression artifacts) and added titles and custom artwork. This should sound as good or better then original stream from her Fan Club web site. Plus it has tracks cut. There is not much available about the technical production of this setup, but my guess is that it was tracked and mixed in post production or a really good board mix. It’s a great sounding show, one of the best.

TRANSFER/EDITING NOTES:
I'd like to begin by thanking j-blokhed for this recording. Here is an amazing Clash show from late '78. This was a great period for the band who are in fine form and are complemented here by an excellent soundboard source. I decided to remaster this recording since I liked the performance so much and wanted to hear it in as high quality as possible. For the remastering, I applied virtually the same edits to all tracks. A couple of tracks were slightly different in frequency response and were adjusted accordingly. There were also a couple of drop-outs which I corrected as good as possible. No noise reduction of any kind has been used here. A low amount of hiss is present after equalizing but not enough to be a distraction or even heard at most levels. The equalization used is light in general as the recording only needed a cut in a few resonating frequencies and a slight boost in some higher frequencies. I hope you like what I've done and consider this an improvement over the original source. Enjoy!

**** ORIGINAL TORRENT INFO ****
THE CLASH - 28 December, 1978
The Lyceum, London
Here's another SBD - and one of my favorites. The Clash played three shows around New Year's 1979 that were recorded for possible use in the film Rude Boy. The dates were Dec 28-89, 1978, and Jan 3, 1979.
The first of these shows to fall into collector's hands was a very good audience recording released first on LP, and then on CD, as "Sort It Out". This is NOT that show. The exact dates of these recordings has been in question, but I believe that "Sort It Out" (also released as "USA 1979" [sic] as well as other, later, titles) is in fact Jan 3, 1979. I think that this recording is Dec 28, 1978.
This tape fell into my hands indirectly from an inside source (KV), and was probably 2nd-3rd gen when recorded to CD-R. It has since spread throughout collector's circles, and the artwork included here is strictly homemade "fan club".
This is one of the very best - enjoy!

Led Zeppelin: Madison Square Garden 1977 (Soundboard) FLAC

a newly released soundboard! (glitch-free)

Artist: Led Zeppelin
Date: 1977-06-07
Venue: MSG
Location: New York, New York
Source: SBD
Lineage: Silver CD > EAC > WAV > Trader's Little Helper > FLAC(level 8)

Bootleg Title: Magical Sound Boogie (3CD)
Label: Empress Valley
All the EV boards came out from one tech who worked for Showco in the 1970s. All that bullshit saying that Page didn’t allow the copying of tapes is nonsense because after the concert all these tapes were stored in one place and were managed by the Showco sound engineers. The LA June 23rd 1977 sbd fragment was received from Showco’s employee and thus it’s proving some ties with the company.
The next board will cover either West Coast 75 or NY/LA run of 77 tour. Between 1969 and 1973 all the baord tapes were recorded by a different crew and this is the reason why they are not surfacing elsewhere except Jimmy’s own studio. Showco started working for Led Zeppelin in 1973 regulary if my mind is wroking properly :) but it wasn’t until 1975 when Photombeam (a guy from RO who posted some info about his employing as LZ laser operator) had been hired that the soundboards were managed by Showco’s crew. The closest road crew entourage that toured with the band between 1968 and 1973 consisted of five or six persons that were in really close tie with all four members of Led Zeppelin, some of them, as Mick Hinton (Bonham’s drum tech) was very close friend of some of the band members and this is the only reason why these boards will be never released. Those leaked in early 1990s are stolen from Page’s possession and this is all that exists. The same with 1980 run - no Showco, no boards.
So, I do not want to say we can expect another board from LA stint very soon but it’s more likely we will be faced with something from 1975 or 1979 (or even 1971-73 if some of tapes stolen are still in the hands of hoarders).
Happy listening, folks!
